With four minutes of stoppage time added, United found a lifeline before the interval. Patrick Dorgu intercepted possession from Matty Cash and quickly released Matheus Cunha, who calmly slotted the ball into the bottom-right corner to level the score moments before the half-time whistle.
Rogers eventually restored Aston Villa’s lead, finding the net once again with another sublime curling effort. Ollie Watkins supplied the assist, bursting past United’s back line before teeing up Rogers, who calmly bent his finish beyond the goalkeeper to put Emery’s side back in front.
The win maintains Villa’s outstanding run, which has seen it win 11 of its last 12 games in the league.
